10th april
read the last 30 or so pages of the bakumatsu book and finished it! not sure iβd recommend reading it in huge chunks like this, and the closest it comes to ever being vaguely critical of any of the people involved is one comment about a guy taking bribes, but it was a good read! lots of accessible historical terms, the manga sections were cute, and the map at the back is very helpful.
todayβs nhk article was this one, notable cos it has ηη in it which came up in my current wk level and like an idiot thought βwhen am i ever gonna come across this???β β¦oops. plus the entry on γ¦γ― in aDoIJG
